I have PMed you my contact. The Legend of Tea packaging for the tea looks nice. Did they say which factory / recipe, etc... or just say aged tea?

I'm not too close with Yuan Yuan, so not too up2date about them. But I know lately they are pushing Dayi already (which they used to Anti).

If it is cleaned stored, yes.

One thing we noticed, broken up Puerh is not so good to be stored in yixing jar (non glazed) for long term. The tea somehow taste flat / less flavor after keeping it there too long.

Breaking it up will aged faster, but where you store it matters. I was told that Porcelain or Glazed jar for raw puerh is recommended.

I have not personal experienced it though...

In Kepong, opposite JDX, same row as Tacha.

Came back from the opening event today. Not much to see but managed to get some tea. Post the tea later...

Happy new year, may the year be good with good tea

Been thinking to get this teapot for the last 2 weeks but somehow just didn't buy...

2011 Dayi 92 Fang Cha Raw - In year 92, Menghai released a batch of fang cha which is quite famous now. In year 2011, Dayi produced this tea and call it using the y92 name. This tea was launched in the recent tea carnival with limited quantity. The main stock is not out yet. Today I managed get few pieces of it.

Taste? Bitter Sweet leaving good taste in the mouth and saliva flow. Not too strong, but since this is new (Nov released and just arrived), we have to evaluate it again in the next few weeks.

2011 Dayi Love Ripe - Nice packaging, bought 1 for collection. Taste? Havent got the chance to try yet

If you want to buy/sell, go with Dayi. The market demand is bigger. Chances of you go wrong is lower but make sure you buy from the right shop, there are some selling fakes here. Price appreciation also better with Dayi. In general Raw price appreciates better than Ripe.

If you buy to drink, then go any brands as long you like the taste now.

To sell back to teashop, they normally want it back in Carton. If you have in Toong or Pieces quantity, teashops normally won't take it unless it is very oldddddddd. Otherwise, you can sell to friend who doesn't have it and looking for it.

As for Dayi taste too strong? Taste them when they are 10 years above not now lo...

2012 Dayi Dragon Zodiac Raw - Light smoky sweet kind of taste. Good saliva flow. Not strong.

If compared to the previous zodiacs,
-Tiger (y10) is much stronger (barely able to drink from brew 3 onwards without soaking).
-Rabbit (y11) is slightly weaker

Dragon comes in between Tiger and Rabbit.

2011 Dayi Daughter Raw - Tasted this after Dragon, and it gives more character and has deeper after taste.

2011 – 大益龙腾盛世 – 青普洱 – 357g 饼
2011 – dà yì lóng téng shèng shì – qīng pǔ ěr – 357g bǐng - 9 pieces









Nice Toong box. Nice Beeng wrapper. Nice dragon watermark. Tea? Should have been better...

Edit: Though this tea is meant for Dragon year (y2012), but the packing date is Dec y2011, so it is a y2011 tea.

Shigaraki Kyusu? Nice nya.
I have the rough wan, nowadays no more rough shigaraki cause the artist finger print gone because of it

Yours is rough, but consider the smooth version.

This is the rough version, but same clay... just the process of filtering is different

2011 Dayi 1kg raw - Strong (unique) smoky taste that last many brew. Smoky but yet plesant and leaving good after taste.

I'm still here, just didn't go much tea shop since I started new job. Moreover, new year not much new Dayi tea out yet. That said, I have 3 Dayi tea (custom) from Dec 2011 arrived at tea shop here waiting for me to collect only

I'm aware of the fair. Will try to drop by but I doubt there will be anything nice within temple (association). Too small space.

Ya ler. Real busy. Today flying to SG bring clients go kai kai for 3 days. 'Entertainment' trip. First time do this kind of job scope. Tension...

Nice one iTea (IT)... hehe. Yeah, i'm in Healthcare IT (Information Teachnology) industry.
